GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. New Standards Disclosure
New Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The update is intended to better align internal use software guidance with modern development methods, which have evolved to commonly include incremental and iterative development approaches. The ASU requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding a software project and when it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the intended function. The ASU amendments also supersede previous guidance on website development costs. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and may be adopted prospectively, retrospectively or with a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting the updated standard.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance is intended to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses. The new disclosures require additional quantitative and qualitative information for certain expenses contained within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting the updated provisions.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, the Company must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. It must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 15, “Income Taxes” for the additional disclosures required by the adoption of this ASU.
There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements, or recently adopted accounting guidance during 2025 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
